<p>What's UMich's easiest major? What are the easier majors(ones that lack competition or just aren't that hard). I've heard things about communication but...it's communication, lol.</p>
<p>Possibly Sports Management. My roommate transferred from School of Kines. to LSA and he said that basically everyone he knew was like, "welcome to a real education."</p>
<p>i'd have to say english or communications.</p>
<p>It depends. If you're not an English person, English will be hard. In fact, if you're not an English person, you wouldn't even major in it in the first place. The same goes with math. Remember that majors are self-selected. By the way, I've heard that it's nearly impossible to get A's in upper level English classes because of super strict GSI's.</p>
<p>You can make most majors as easy or hard as you want to, although for the vast majority of people who are roughly equal in mathematical and verbal ability, upper level English would probably be easier than upper level Math.</p>
<p>As much as I may despise and look down upon English majors, I wouldn't consider it an easy one.</p>
<p>I think history is generally considered to be fairly easy, if you're willing/able to do some reading.</p>
<p>Oh, and political science (sorry, dear).</p>
<p>I disagree. Polsci is harder than English on the intro level and has a potential to be harder than English the highest levels.</p>
<p>Anthro, Sociology, Psych are also considered easy, I think. So is the General Studies major...</p>
<p>Oh yeah, forgot about "Program in the Environment". Gave my RA sooo much crap about that.</p>
<p>I can see myself having to read and work and think a lot as an English major. I can't see myself ever needing to do work for a polysci class.</p>
<p>Polsci requires more critical thinking skills, not that English doesn't. But trying to analyze very real world problems with the past and different systems and public opinion and so on can be difficult.</p>
<p>is philosophy at michigan considered hard?</p>
<p>what about linguistics?</p>
<p>linguistics and philosophy can get difficult if you're not interested in it.</p>
<p>history is also difficult because the insane amount of reading you get and amount of information you have to memorize.</p>
<p>i stick with my decision with comm. it's all common sense. as for my reasoning for english, i just said it because it's what all of my friends do if they're not pre-health, business, or engineering. they're just not good at anything else and all you do is write papers.</p>
<p>So the easiest majors are:</p>
<p>Anthro
Sociology
Communication
Psychology</p>
<p>Are there any majors that are more career oriented that are easy?</p>
<p>Does this apply everywhere btw?</p>
<p>Is the art school easy? Is art easy? I mean..it should be, lol.</p>
<p>Why should art be easy...
I'm pretty sure if you get into a good art school, you're surrounded by lots of good artists and tough professors, so you're challenged to be the best of the best...</p>
<p>The thing is, easy is not something that can be defined across the board when talking about majors. Like Christine pointed out, even art is not easy for a lot of people.</p>
<p>Example, I thought accounting was so mind numbingly simple and boring I could of hung myself and had to change majors to something in the humanities. I've heard others, say they struggled with the concepts. And everyone talks about English being easy, but if you have no analytical skills or insight you're likely to flop in it.</p>
<p>Definitely sociology. That's what most of the football players major in.</p>
<p>good point. i forgot about sociology.</p>
<p>"As much as I may despise and look down upon English majors..."</p>
<p>Any reason for this? lol</p>
<p>Something along the lines about "Everyone can read books, write, and analyze, but not not everyone can take these 590 level+ math courses during their sophomore year of college like they're some super genius while getting laid by this hot new chick...interesting how my imaginary roommate is an English major, he needs to get a new book."</p>
<p>I think Dilksy's actual quote, in a conversation we were having about departments that are hierarchical versus diverse (a topic in political modeling), was, "We [math majors] can read, but they [English majors] can't even come close to doing our math."</p>
<p>And believe me, everything he ever says is in a sarcastic tone of voice.</p>
<p>By the way, in political modeling, mathematics and English are on the opposite side of the spectrum: mathematics is the most hierarchical and English is the most diverse. In mathematics, you know exactly where you rank, in English it's more about opinions in comparison and contrast.</p>
<p>Imagine if both departments learned to utilize diverse and hierarchical thinking... too bad Dilksy hates diversity.</p>
